The aim of this study was to investigate the PAHs removal efficiency in coking plant contaminated soil when disposed by different oxidants with different dosages (hydrogen peroxide, Fenton’s reagent, modified Fenton’s reagent, potassium permanganate, activated sodium persulfate) and the PAHs distribution characteristics in removing parts, soil residue parts, recycling parts and supernate after oxidation reactions. Analyzed the variation characteristics of soil properties (pH and soil temperature) when used different oxidants in oxidation reactions process, screened out the effective and safe remediation oxidants. The research results indicated that the potassium permanganate has the best remediation ability and undemanding reaction conditions than other oxidants. The contaminant which be volatilized into surrounding environment was rarely when disposed by potassium permanganate in remediation process. Consequently, selecting potassium permanganate as remediation oxidant to treat PAHs in coking plant contaminated soils was the best choice.

The degradation of wine distillery wastewaters by aerobic biological treatment has been investigated in a batch reactor. The evolution of the chemical oxygen demand, biomass and total contents of polyphenolic and aromatic compounds was followed through each experiment. According to the Contois model, a kinetic expression for the substrate utilization rate is derived, and its biokinetic constant is evaluated. The final effluents of the aerobic biological experiments were oxidized by Fenton's reagent. The evolution of chemical oxygen demand, hydrogen peroxide concentration and total contents of polyphenolic and aromatic compounds was followed through each experiment. A kinetic model to interpret the experimental data is proposed. The kinetic rate constant of the global reaction is determined.

The removal of acrylonitrile by Fenton-precipitation and Fenton-microfiltration was investigated in this study. As for Fenton-precipitation, in the range of pH 2 to pH 4, TOC removal efficiency decreased with the increase in pH during the Fenton-precipitation of acrylonitrile. Fenton-microfiltration had a significant improvement on TOC removal at pH 3 and 4 as compared with Fenton-precipitation. The highest removal efficiency of 95% was obtained at pH 3 and the solution pH value had a significant effect on the total permeate quantity and the rate of accumulation. Experimental results led to the conclusion that the oxidation caused by Fenton's reagent was predominant at pH 2. On the contrary, coagulation was most significant at pH 3 and 4. The results indicated the superiority of the Fenton-microfiltration process as compared with Fenton-precipitation process for the removal of acrylonitrile from water.
